Question

What is the derivative of |x1| at x=2?
  1. 1
  2. 0
  3. Derivative does not exist
  4. 1

A
1
B
0
C
1
D
Derivative does not exist
Solution
Verified by Toppr

given f(x)=|x1|
f(x)=(x1) when x1>0 i.e. x>1
f(x)=(x1)=1x when x1<0 i.e. x<1
So, at x=2,f(x)=x1
dfdx=1
Thus, derivative of f at x=2 is 1.
